Well I'm just happier than a pig in sh!t today :P I finally got the knife I've been wanting.The store manager gave me my $20 off,then she used her employee discount(20% off) :woohoo: I've been buggin her for a year to get this blade,and she finally caved in :silly: It was worth the wait 
I also got a cool little pizza rack(with removable handle),that will fit the small(just barely).I don't plan on using it for pizzas,but,ya never know :P
Now,to keep this partially on topic,I'm thawing out some 6-8 count shrimp :ohmy: These things are huge.Any ideas on these mini lobster tails?I've never done any shrimp this big before
I hope that everyone is having a great weekend

I LOVE that blade!
The skrimps look awesome too!!! -
What's the length of that knife? Its beautiful, has its own holder and all. what did you give for it, I won't tell anyone? -RP
-
Thanks Hoss,this is the most comfortable knife that I've ever put my hands on :woohoo:
-
Did some shrimp last night 6 count, stuffed with lump crab, asiago and onion mixture (No breading) and turned out great, 350 for 25 minutes. Excellant
Lobster: Split the tails, make a scambi sauce, poor over and sit back and what. The family loved em!!!
Grilled high direct with foil under them. -
Hey Randy,it's an 8" Shun "Ken Onion".The price at the store was $199.She gave me her discount($40),then my $20 discount.So I got it for $139+tax :woohoo: And it came with the little stand
-
Hey Sparky,
That Shun Ken Onion is spectacular, I have the classic Shun 8" and it is perfection. Just watch the finners! Those Shun knives show no mercy. They are sharp enough for surgery. I had to learn how to handle great knives when I first got mine. I was nicking my self with the tips all the time. Great knives won't make a great chef but it sure makes it a lot more fun. Congratulations.
I've never cooked shrimp that big before, I might consider a crab meat and/or scallop stuffing like Little Chef did a couple of weeks ago.
Will be looking forward to see what you do.
Gator
-
Thanks man,I was thinkin of stuffing them,but wasn't sure(with what) I'll have to get some crabmeat now
-
Sparky,
Buddy, I thought you got a bass boat or som ATVs. Where is my ol redneck pal. :laugh: :laugh: Steve
Caledon, ON
-
Thanks Gator,I know how easy it is to get cut with these knifes This one will stay in it's holster once the beer starts flowin :P I think the crab stuffing is a great idea for these monsters,thanks
-
Sorry to dissapoint you Steve Maybe I can redeem myself by getting out the ol potatoe gun
:silly: :P That'll prove that I'm still a redneck eh? :laugh: :P -
Sparky......just make sure you don't get it shun-ken..in the wrong place ok????? :laugh:
-
Thanks Beli,you're always lookin out for me man I better put the knife back in the box for now :P
-
Great score Doug, keep your fingers away from it :laugh:
Ross -
Nice snag, that is a beauty, way out of my range but I'm happy for anyone that can do it.
Enjoy,
Bordello -
Thanks Ross,and yea,I'll try to keep the old pointers away from the painful end :woohoo:
-
Thanks Bordello,but it's way out of my price range too I'll just have to go without food for half a week,but I think it's worth it :P :laugh:
-
Doug,
Keep that sharp blade away from all that pretty, shiny wood on the egg nest. Enjoy it my friend. -
very nice you will love using it congratualations ... ... my rule is "when the adult beverages come out the Japanese steel gets put away"
-
Thanks Ray ole buddy,good idea
-
That's a very good rule bill And I have learned that myself Not with this blade,but with my other Shun.These things are just wicked sharp :P I usually only bleed when washing them,but I ain't gonna put them in the dishwasher :ohmy: :pinch:
-
Just make sure you enjoy them with a good beer. Don't pair them with something like Bud Light.
-
Nice knife. Love the holder. Crab stuff them.
Mike -

Dangit man,no Bud-Light? :( I'm a cheap beer fluzzy :P :woohoo:
